Default boost gauge easy to fit?

how does a boost gauge fit? and is it easy to do?
i guess the hose fits somewhere inbetween the t-piece area on the turbo.

Depends on the year/model but usually about 30 mins to an hour to fit , Pipe can be t`d off the smaller vaccum hose near the factory recirc valve or off the manifold, Leave the boost solenoid hoses as they are.

If you have a UK car, look at the inlet manifold, front n/s. There should be a small unused nipple with a rubber cover over it.
Remove cover, plug boost pipe onto that nipple, job done.

+1 ,If you still are unsure where it is :
If you look on your inlet manifold in front of your coil pack ,you shouldsee a rubber hose which passes under your coilpack and connects to your recirc/vta valve.The plug next to this on your inlet manifold normally has a black sheath over it,simply pull this off and fit 3mm tubing for your boost gauge and follow the existing plumbing and take it into the car.
